Duplicator gives WordPress users the ability to migrate, copy, move or clone a site from one location to another and also serves as a simple backup utility. Duplicator handles both serialized and base64 serialized string replacement. WordPress migration and WordPress backups are easily handled by this plugin.

Perform a full WordPress migration without struggling with messy import/export sql scripts

Migrate WordPress and Run WordPress Backups

Duplicator creates a package that bundles all the site’s plugins, themes, content, database and WordPress files into a simple zip file called a package. This package can then be used to easily migrate a WordPress site to any location you wish. Move on the same server, across servers and pretty much any location a WordPress site can be hosted. WordPress is not required for installation since the package contains all site files.

Improve Your Workflow with Pre-Bundled Sites

Duplicator lets you make your own pre-configured sites to eliminate rework. Instead of manually configuring your favorite theme, set of plugins or content over and over, now just configure a single site and bundle it up into a Duplicator package. Once you have the bundled site, you can migrate the WordPress site over and over to different locations to instantly create many pre-configured sites!

Please Note

The underlying logic to backup WordPress, move WordPress and transfer WordPress are complex and it’s impossible to know how each system is setup; this is why your feedback is important to us. Thanks for helping us to make WordPress the best blogging platform in the world.

Disclaimer

This plugin does require some technical knowledge. If you plan to migrate WordPress or backup WordPress please use it at your own risk and don’t forget to back up your files and databases beforehand. If you need to move or backup WordPress and would like additional help please visit the Duplicator resources section .

WP Migrate DB exports your database as a MySQL data dump (much like phpMyAdmin), does a find and replace on URLs and file paths, handles serialized data, then allows you to save it to your computer as an SQL file. To complete the migration, you need to use a database management tool (e.g. phpMyAdmin) to import the SQL file to your database, replacing your existing database. It is perfect for developers who need to migrate fresh data from the production site to their local install, or migrate their locally developed site to a staging or production server.

WP Migrate DB handles serialized data (both arrays and objects) by unserializing the data and going through it, identifying strings and running a find & replace on them. Once it has gone through all the data, it serializes it again and sticks it back in the database.

No, it only operates on the database. The pro version’s Media Files addon allows you to migrate media files.

Why do I end up with a wp-login.php download instead of the exported SQL file?

It is likely you have a download manager plugin or extension installed in your web browser. You will need to disable it for the SQL download to work properly.

Does the plugin handle serialized data?

Yep, it will run a find & replace on your serialized data and migrate it without corrupting it. See our documentation for details.

WP Engine Automated Migrations allows you to easily migrate your WordPress site to the WP Engine platform. All you need to do is provide the plugin your WP Engine SFTP credentials and let the tool do all the heavy lifting.

Legal Requirements

* Please Note *

This plugin will only migrate your site to WP Engine. This will not migrate you to any other host.

Upload wp-migrate-site to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

If you have WordPress 2.7 or above you can simply go to ‘Plugins’ > ‘Add New’ in the WordPress admin and search for “WP Engine Migration Tool” and install/activate it from there.

1) What information do I need to provide to the plugin?

You will have to provide the plugin your email address, destination url, SFTP host name, SFTP username, and SFTP password.

2) Does this plugin work with Multisite?

Yes! This has been fully developed to work with Multisite. If moving a Multisite, make sure to Network Activate the plugin.

3) Can I migrate a single WordPress install into a Multisite using this plugin?

No. This plugin is designed to migrate sites as is. This plugin will not support single WordPress sites being migrated into a Multisite or a Multisite sub-site being migrated to a single WordPress site.

4) Are their any known incompatibilities?

Currently, you can not migrate a site from WordPress.com or any proprietary hosting solution. (Squarespace.com, Wix.com, and similar hosting providers)

5) Other than running the plugin, anything else I need to do?

Once the migration completes, you will need to update your DNS to point to our servers. Keep in mind that you may also need to add any custom redirects to your WP Engine User Portal and migrate your SSL.

WordPress Move is a migration assistant for WordPress that is capable of changing the domain name in use and/or migrating your installation to another server either as is or based on your choices. In addition to these, you can use WordPress Move to transfer your database or create backups of your installation. For further information on using the plugin, please refer to the documentation provided with the plugin.

Disclaimer: Even though this plugin is heavily tested, please use it at your own risk and do not forget to back up your files beforehand.

Upload wordpress-move to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Configure the plugin through the WordPress Move page under the ‘Settings’ menu

Start using the tools added under the ‘Tools’ menu

I am getting the “Could not activate the plugin because it generated a fatal error.” error when I try to activate the plugin. Why?

WordPress Move needs php_sockets extension to be enabled, in order to work properly. If you are getting this error message, please enable php_sockets extension and restart your web server. Once you successfully enable the extension, you will be able to activate the plugin.

Do I need to install WordPress and WordPress Move on the new server as well, if I want to use WordPress Move for migration purposes?

Yes you do.

Is it possible to both migrate to another server and change the domain name?

Yes. You can choose whether you want to change your domain name or not on the migration screen. Note that it does not change the domain name used by the current installation, it just replaces instances of the old domain name with the new one on the fly while creating a database backup for migration.

Can I use WordPress Move to create backups of my installation?

Yes, you can. Click either “Create a Database Backup” button or “Create a Full Backup” button to create a backup. Your backup files will be stored under the backup directory. You can use Complete Migration mode whenever you want to use those files to revert to a former state of your installation.

Can I use WordPress Move to transfer my database backup only?

Yes, you can. All you need to do is selecting the Advanced Migration during the migration type selection page and not selecting any files when the file tree is displayed. Once you click the Start Migration button, the plugin will create a backup of your database only and transfer it to your new server. When you run WordPress Move on your new server in Complete Migration mode, the plugin will import the database backup created by your old WordPress installation.

Does WordPress Move take care of changing the whole domain name changing process?

No, it does not. WordPress Move just replaces instances of your old domain name in your database with the new domain name you provide. It is still your responsibility to point your domain name to the name servers used by your hosting company and make necessary configurations on the control panel provided by your hosting company. Before starting this process, please request assistance from your hosting company as some companies’ systems erase all your data without creating backups when you change your domain name. Also, do not forget that it is always a good idea to have a backup of your files and the database before starting operations like these.

Plugin fails to create backup files because it says my backup directory is not writable. How can I fix this?

As the warning suggests, you need to make the backup directory writable by the plugin. Permission settings vary from server to server so there is no specific value to set the directory permissions to. The easiest way to fix this problem yourself is using an FTP client to alter permission settings of the backup directory until plugin successfully creates backup files. You may also prefer requesting assistance from your hosting company.

I am a pre-1.2 user, what will happen to the FTP Password that is already stored in my database?

Visiting the WordPress Move Settings page any time after updating the plugin will remove it from the database permanently.

Can I use the database backup files that WordPress Move generates with phpMyAdmin?

You can convert a database backup file using the Convert option in the Backup Manager to use it outside the plugin. So, yes, you can use the converted database backup files with phpMyAdmin or any other script.

1.3.2

Fixed the bug causing problems with other plugins such as Gravity Forms.

1.3.1

Fixed several bugs.

Improved the performance of the plugin in complex tasks.

It is now possible to download a backup file by clicking on its name.

If the Safe Mode is disabled, operations will not be interrupted by the maximum execution time error anymore.

WP Staging for WordPress Migration

This duplicator plugin allows you to create an staging or development environment in seconds*

It creates a clone of your website into a subfolder of your main WordPress installation including an entire copy of your database.
This sounds pretty simple and yes it is! All the hard time-consumptive database and file copying stuff including url replacements is done in the background.

I created this plugin because all other solutions are way too complex, overloaded with dozens of options or having server requirements which are not available on most shared hosting solutions.
All these reasons prevent user from testing new plugins and updates first before installing them on their live website, so its time to release a plugin which has the potential to be merged into everyone´s wordpress workflow.

* Time of creation depends on size of your database and file size

WP Staging helps you to prevent your website from being broken or unavailable because of installing untested plugin updates!

Main Features

Fast: Migration process lasts only a few seconds or minutes, depending on the site’s size and server I/O power

Safe: Access to staging site is granted for administrators only.

More safe:

Admin bar reflects that you are working on a staging site

Extensive logging if duplication and migration process fails.

What does not work or is not tested when running wordpress migration?

WordPress migration of wordpress multisites (not tested)

WordPress duplicating process on windows server (not tested but will probably work)
Edit: Duplication on windows server seems to be working well: Read more

Change your workflow of updating themes and plugins data:

Use WP Staging for migration of a production website to a clone site for staging purposes

Customize theme, configuration and plugins or install new plugins

Test everything on your staging site first

Everything running as expected? You are on the save side for migration of all these modifications to your production site!

Why should i use a staging website?

Plugin updates and theme customizations should be tested on a staging platform first. Its recommended to have the staging platform on the same server where the production website is located.
When you run a plugin update or plan to install a new one, it is a necessary task to check first the modifications on a clone of your production website.
This makes sure that any modifications is working on your website without throwing unexpected errors or preventing your site from loading. (Better known as the wordpress blank page error)

Testing a plugin update before installing it in live environment isn´t done very often by most user because existing staging solutions are too complex and need a lot of time to create a
up-to-date copy of your website.

Some people are also afraid of installing plugins updates because they follow the rule “never touch a running system” with having in mind that untested updates are increasing the risk of breaking their site.
I totally understand this and i am guilty as well here, but unfortunately this leads to one of the main reasons why WordPress installations are often outdated, not updated at all and unsecure due to this non-update behavior.

I think its time to change this, so i created “WP Staging” for WordPress migration of staging sites

Can´t i just use my local wordpress development copy for testing like xampp / lampp?

Nope! If your local hardware and software environment is not a 100% exact clone of your production server there is NO guarantee that every aspect
of your local copy is working on your live website exactely as you would expect it.
There are some obvious things like differences in the config of php and the server you are running but even such non obvious settings like the amount of ram or the
the cpu performance can lead to unexpected results on your production website.
There are dozens of other possible cause of failure which can not be handled well when you are testing your changes on a local staging platform.

This is were WP Staging steps in… Site cloning and staging site creation simplified!

I just want to migrate the database from one installation to another

If you want to migrate your local database to a already existing production site you can use a tool like WP Migrate DB.
WP Staging is only for creating a staging site with latest data from your production site. So it goes the opposite way of WP Migrate DB.
Both tools are excellent cooperating eachother.

What are the benefits compared to a plugin like Duplicator?

At first, i love the Duplicator plugin. Duplicator is a great tool for migrating from development site to production one or from production site to development one.
The downside is that Duplicator needs adjustments, manually interventions and prerequirements for this. Duplicator also needs some skills to be able to create a development / staging site, where WP Staging does not need more than a click from you.
However, Duplicator is best placed to be a tool for first-time creation of your production site. This is something where it is very handy and powerful.

So, if you have created a local or webhosted development site and you need to migrate this site the first time to your production domain than you are doing nothing wrong with using
the Duplicator plugin! If you need all you latest production data like posts, updated plugins, theme data and styles in a testing environment than i recommend to use WP Staging instead!

I need you feedback

This plugin has been done in hundreds of hours to work on even the smallest shared webhosting package but i am limited in testing this only on a handful of different server so i need your help:
Please open a support request and describe your problem exactely. In wp-content/wp-staging/logs you find extended logfiles. Have a look at them and let me know the error-thrown lines.

Important

Per default the staging site will have permalinks disabled because the staging site will be cloned into a subfolder and regular permalinks are not working
without doing changes to your .htaccess or nginx.conf.
In the majority of cases this is abolutely fine for a staging platform and you still will be able to test new plugins and do some theme changes on your staging platform.
If you need the same permalink stucture on your staging platform as you have in your prodcution website you have to create a custom .htaccess for apache webserver
or to adjust your nginx.conf.

Complete Backup by Supsystic

The WordPress Backup by Supsystic plugin backups in the full backup scope the WordPress site along with the attached files and database backup saving the most important part of the data, such as:

posts,

pages,

plugins,

images,

comments, etc.

Managed offsite backups

Additional load on the server backup plugins make when storing everything locally on the server to slow down the site and leave no room for the data you need. The Backup by Supsystic plugin does need no local storage for the WordPress backups, hence, should there be a server crashes, the entire WordPress site and its backups would be lost. So, what to do? Create an offsite backup! To secure all the content when and if the site goes down the backup dropbox plugin Backup by Supsystic creates offsite backups to archive and place up to thirty WordPress backups at any particular point taken in time. The saved data is stored in the Backup by Supsystics` own servers and in addition all the copied go to Amazon S3 servers. Every WordPress backup has nine full copies maintained in the multiple independent data-centers.

Easy Restore of Backups

Should the site get hacked, the DropBox Backup by Supsystic plugin will easily restore all the data in no time automatically restoring the specific WordPress backup right onto the server. To verify the integrity of a WordPress backup version or to test backups before deploying them onto the server the Backup by Supsystic has a test-restore feature. The backup can be validated as the WordPress`s backup is temporarily restored on the Backup by Supsystic’s own servers.

Migration using Backup

A simple migration feature designed to move simply to a new domain or host using backups is fully realized in the Backup by Supsystic. The work begins at the stored backup on the Backup by Supsysticsservers without making any damage to the original site; executed in several steps; yet a considerable amount of WordPress backups may be very easily migrated. A few minutes, a few clicks, and the selected WordPress backup version is moved to the new place and ready to work. Any version from the backups list is suitable for the job.

Securing your Backup

Multiple copies of WordPress backups as it is as well as Amazon S3 servers used in the Backup by Supsystic provide the best security system for the data ensuring redundancy of the given WordPress backups. All the backups are encrypted to perform better protection. The backup can be applied to Dropbox feature and to uploading backups to Dropbox account. Time limit for storing the chosen WordPress backup versions is beyond thirty days; exactly for this period the Backup by Supsystic archives the backups.

Incremental Backups

Should the site be more than scores of GB, in this case, an ordinary backup plugin does not work properly; a complete backup is done every time and each time, to up loading the data onto the server slowing the site down. To solve these tasks and reduce the load on the server and the size of the backups an incremental backup is used only once and only at the start of the Backup by Supsystic.

Real-time Backup

Real-time backup system Backup by Supsystic ensures that any change is saved together with the instant backup at the spot; very useful feature if the work is done in the field of electronic commerce needed to be backed up daily – no transaction is lost even if the site crashed between the scheduled backup. The Real-time backup works as follows, by means of listening to the triggers issued by the standard WordPress updates as follow:

adding – backup updating posts,

adding – backup updating pages,

adding – backup updating users,

adding – backup updating media, etc.

For example, some plugins, let`s take the “wooCommerce” create custom tables in the WordPress database without any protection from the regular real-time backups due to its overwhelming size, hence the Backup by Supsystic has a special feature to manage the ” wooCommerce” backups.

WordPress Multisite (WPMU) Backup

WordPress Multisite backup is supported by the Backup by Supsystic and performed in the backup of the entire network, instead of a lonely standing sub –site, without losing in the process any shared resource, plugins or themes to backup, restore, or migrate the WPMU site.

Backup Monitoring

The Backup by Supsystic is always monitoring the site to ensure that the scheduled backups are done in time. Should there be any important news, such as failure of the backup or some problems with the site operation, a notification will be sent by E-mail.

Backup History

Backup by Supsystic’s history page comprises information about each backup recorded within a considerable time period, such as:

list of plugins

number of posts

pages

files

tables.

Also the changes in the backup are highlighted making finding any particular update and its time really easy, including the use of screenshots for each and every backup.

Test-Restore Backup

Temporarily restoring backup on the test servers is a unique feature provided by the Backup by Supsystic to validate the backup and ensure the expected results; or used for the accurate backup restoring from an older backup identification.

First time Backup by Supsystic user

Thank you for choosing Backup by Supsystic! Open page of our plug-in admin panel WordPress and you will see two menu items: “Main” and “Backups”.

In order to create your backup, at first you need to choose where to backup – on the Main tab you have a choice between FTP, Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 and OneDrive backup. Then you will see the Backup presets. Here you can set what exatly you want to backup (full backup or backup specific folders). It is already possible to exclude some folders from backup, activate email notification and set the warehouse where to save backup. After all these points you need to click “Start backup” button. When you see the message “Backup complete”, you can check the folder with backup. By default backup is stored in upsupsystic folder (you can find it using this path /wp-content/upsupsystic/), there you should see the archive with backup, log file and .sql file (sql file will be created only if you set the database backup). All this files will be with the same ID in the name.

On the Backups tab you have the ability to restore, download or delete backup, simply click on the appropriate button.

To create Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive backup, at first you need to click the “Authenticate” button. On your cloud service will be created “Backup by Supsystic” folder with one more folder inside (folder with the name of your site), where the backups will be stored.

To create Dropbox backup, Google Drive or OneDrive backup, at first you need to click the “Authenticate” button. On your cloud service will be created “Backup by Supsystic” folder with one more folder inside (folder with the name of your site), where the backups will be stored.

To create Amazon S3 backup, at first you need to get your access key ID and secret access key. Then enter the keys and name of the basket (where backups will be stored) in the appropriate fields, and click “Store Credentials” button.

To install a plugin via FTP, you must

Download the backup plugin

Unarchive the plugin

Copy the backup-by-supsystic folder with plugin

Open ftp \wp-content\plugins\

Paste the plug-ins folder in the folder

Go to admin panel => open item “Plugins” => activate the plugin

How to Backup a WordPress site

Step 1: Choosing the cloud storage

Primarily on the Main tab you need to choose the cloud storage where you prefer backups to be stored With Backup plugin by Supsystic you can backup to:

FTP server

Google Drive

Dropbox

Amazon S3

OneDrive

To create backup to Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 or OneDrive, at first you need to authenticate your account. For all cloud services (except Amazon S3) it is very easy – just click “Authenticate”.

If backup prompted request for permission to access to your account – press “Allow” button to give permissions to upload the backup files on your account. Then on your cloud service will be created “Backup by Supsystic” folder with one more folder inside (folder with the name of your site), where the backups will be stored.

If you want to backup to the Amazon S3 – you need to know your access key ID, secret access key and name of the basket (which exists on Amazon S3) where backups will be stored. To get your access key ID and secret access key you must follow the next steps:

Open the IAM console. https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#home

From the navigation menu, click Users.

Select your IAM user name.

Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.

Click Create Access Key.

Your keys will look something like this:

Access key ID example: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE

Secret access key example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Click Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location.

After these steps – enter the keys and name of the basket in the appropriate fields, then click “Store Credentials” button.

Step 2: Customization of Backup by Supsystic

Choose the backup preset – what exactly you want to backup and how you want to backup:

WordPress Core – all folders and files backup, in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed, except the /wp-content folder

Plugins folder

Themes folder

Uploads folder

Any folder inside wp-content

Safe update – if the checkbox is set up, the database backup will be performed. This will let the database backup work in the transaction mode, i.e. should there occur any failure during the data base recovery, no data from the data-base backup will be transferred to the data-base. The data-base backup recovery will occur if and only there were no failures during the process. If the checkbox is not set up the data-base backup will be performed without transaction mode

Force backup – when backup is performed, the labels are usually put at the beginning of the file dump, such as: WordPress version for the backup; WordPress data-base version for the backup; the plugin version for the backup. At recovering, if the force has been off, the backup will not be performed, because it will constantly pop up with the message, that the version is incorrect (the version of WordPress, the version of WordPress data-base or the plugin version). If the force has been on, there will be no such system check and the recovery will be performed

You can select several items at one time. If you choose a full backup – all checkboxes will be automatically activated (including the database backup).

Besides you have the ability to:

Create only Database backup

Exclude files and folders from the backup

Enable email notification – activate checkbox and enter the email address where you want to be notified about how did the backup process passed.

Specify the warehouse where the data is to be backed up – if ‘Use relative path’ checkbox has been set up, the path will be set against in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed. If ‘Use relative path’ checkbox has been of, the full path to the disk root should be specified in the Warehouse field.

Use relative path – if the checkbox has been set up, then the backup path must be specified in the Warehouse field against the root directory, where the WordPress is installed. if the checkbox has been off, then the backup path must be specified in the Warehouse field against the disk root.

Step 3: Creating the backup

After you have selected the cloud storage and have specified all the settings, click “Start Backup”. Wait while your site is being backed up. It can take a while if your website is large. It depends on your site and hosting how much time will take the process. While plugin is backing up your website, you are not able to create another backup.

When you see the message “Backup complete”, you can check the folder with backup. There you should see the archive with backup, log file and .sql file (sql file will be created only if you set the database backup). All this files will be with the same ID in the name.

On Backups tab will appear a new entry with Database ( if you marked Full Backup or Database Backup) and Filesystem backup files. On top will be shown where has been made backup, the ID of backup files, the date and time of the backup. You can restore, download (only if it was backup to FTP server) or delete backup, simply click on the appropriate button.

Also here you can view the log file of backup – just clicking “Show Backup Log”.

Step 4: Backup restoration

In order to restore the backup you need to go to the Backups tab, select the backup files you want and click “Restore” button – at first for the Filesystem backup, then for Database backup. When you see the message “Done!” – restoration will be completed.

If the backup you want to restore is on your computer, then upload it to the folder on the FTP server where you store the other backups. By default backup is stored in ‘upsupsystic’ folder (you can find it in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed, using this path /wp-content/upsupsystic/). Then files of this backup will appear on the Backups tab and you will be able to restore them.

If backup prompted request for permission to access to your account – press “Allow” button to give permissions to upload the backup files on your account. Then on your cloud service will be created “Backup by Supsystic” folder with one more folder inside (folder with the name of your site), where the backups will be stored.

If you want to backup to the Amazon S3 – you need to know your access key ID, secret access key and name of the basket (which exists on Amazon S3) where backups will be stored. To get your access key ID and secret access key you must follow the next steps:

Open the IAM console. https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#home

From the navigation menu, click Users.

Select your IAM user name.

Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.

Click Create Access Key.

Your keys will look something like this:

Access key ID example: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE

Secret access key example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Click Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location.

After these steps – enter the keys and name of the basket in the appropriate fields, then click “Store Credentials” button.

Step 2: Customization of Backup by Supsystic

Choose the backup preset – what exactly you want to backup and how you want to backup:

WordPress Core – all folders and files backup, in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed, except the /wp-content folder

Plugins folder

Themes folder

Uploads folder

Any folder inside wp-content

Safe update – if the checkbox is set up, the database backup will be performed. This will let the database backup work in the transaction mode, i.e. should there occur any failure during the data base recovery, no data from the data-base backup will be transferred to the data-base. The data-base backup recovery will occur if and only there were no failures during the process. If the checkbox is not set up the data-base backup will be performed without transaction mode

Force backup – when backup is performed, the labels are usually put at the beginning of the file dump, such as: WordPress version for the backup; WordPress data-base version for the backup; the plugin version for the backup. At recovering, if the force has been off, the backup will not be performed, because it will constantly pop up with the message, that the version is incorrect (the version of WordPress, the version of WordPress data-base or the plugin version). If the force has been on, there will be no such system check and the recovery will be performed

You can select several items at one time. If you choose a full backup – all checkboxes will be automatically activated (including the database backup).

Besides you have the ability to:

Create only Database backup

Exclude files and folders from the backup

Enable email notification – activate checkbox and enter the email address where you want to be notified about how did the backup process passed.

Specify the warehouse where the data is to be backed up – if ‘Use relative path’ checkbox has been set up, the path will be set against in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed. If ‘Use relative path’ checkbox has been of, the full path to the disk root should be specified in the Warehouse field.

Use relative path – if the checkbox has been set up, then the backup path must be specified in the Warehouse field against the root directory, where the WordPress is installed. if the checkbox has been off, then the backup path must be specified in the Warehouse field against the disk root.

Step 3: Creating the backup

After you have selected the cloud storage and have specified all the settings, click “Start Backup”. Wait while your site is being backed up. It can take a while if your website is large. It depends on your site and hosting how much time will take the process. While plugin is backing up your website, you are not able to create another backup.

When you see the message “Backup complete”, you can check the folder with backup. There you should see the archive with backup, log file and .sql file (sql file will be created only if you set the database backup). All this files will be with the same ID in the name.

On Backups tab will appear a new entry with Database ( if you marked Full Backup or Database Backup) and Filesystem backup files. On top will be shown where has been made backup, the ID of backup files, the date and time of the backup. You can restore, download (only if it was backup to FTP server) or delete backup, simply click on the appropriate button.

Also here you can view the log file of backup – just clicking “Show Backup Log”.

Step 4: Backup restoration

In order to restore the backup you need to go to the Backups tab, select the backup files you want and click “Restore” button – at first for the Filesystem backup, then for Database backup. When you see the message “Done!” – restoration will be completed.

If the backup you want to restore is on your computer, then upload it to the folder on the FTP server where you store the other backups. By default backup is stored in ‘upsupsystic’ folder (you can find it in the root directory, where the WordPress is installed, using this path /wp-content/upsupsystic/). Then files of this backup will appear on the Backups tab and you will be able to restore them.

Pantheon is a website management platform that is the best place to run your WordPress site — hands down. And migrating your WordPress site doesn’t get any easier than with Pantheon Migrations.

With this plugin forget the headaches of manually migrating your site. All you need to activate the plugin is administrative access to your WordPress site. Just copy and paste your SFTP credentials from your new Pantheon site to the Pantheon Migrations tab in your WordPress Dashboard and click “migrate”. You can get back to work on other projects, and our migrations team will email you when everything is complete.

For full instructions please see our docs page on Pantheon Migrations.

Click the Migrate button and you will be redirected to the migration landing page. The plugin will automatically verify your Machine Token and let you know if there are any issues.

After the migration is complete there will be a button you can click to see the results of your migration and automatically redirected to your Pantheon site URL.

1) I do not have a Pantheon account, can I still use this plugin?

No, but signing up for a Pantheon account is free and so is migrating your site with Pantheon Migrations. Sign up here!

2) What information will the plugin ask for?

You will have to provide the plugin your destination url and Machine Token from your Pantheon account. Please read the Installation section for more information on where to find this.

3) Is Multisite supported with this plugin

Not yet, Pantheon is currently working on testing the support of Multisite on our platform but it’s still too soon. We will update this section when it’s available.

4) How long does it take to migrate a website?

This can range anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the size of the website. On average, migrations to Pantheon take about 1 hour.

5) Can I migrate a site from WordPress.com?

Currently you can only migrate a self hosted WordPress installation, the plugin does not support migrating from WordPress.com.

6) What happens if I run into an error after the migration is complete?

We are always wanting to assist and help out in any way that we can. If you encounter any type of issue please use the support section of our plugin. Click here to file an issue. This section is monitored daily.

7) Do I need to leave the window open while the migration is processing?

No, that’s the beauty of this plugin. It runs on a SAAS based technology and a secure web address that runs everything in the background. Once you start the migration you can close the window at any time and come back to it later while it’s still running, no need to wait for hours. You will also receive an email once the migration has completed.
